  Herbert Sutcliffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herbert Sutcliffe (born November 24, 1894, Summerbridge, Harrogate, Yorkshire, England; died January 22, 1978, Cross Hills, Yorkshire, England) was arguably the greatest opening batsman in cricket history and undoubtedly one of the greatest players of any type the game has known.
Sutcliffe also possessed the most remarkable self-belief: he could believe that no bowler was capable of dismissing him (not unrealistic at times) and this gave him a remarkable capacity to fight in the most difficult conditions.
Though Sutcliffe hit his highest Test score of 194 at the SCG that winter and averaged 73 for the tour, an amazing decline set in the following year in a summer where conditions were much more favourable to batsmen.
